Delighted to have teamed up with Prosciutto di Parma to bring you this recipe. Although it is a sponsored partnership, all opinions are my own. Whilst I enjoy all different flavours of scones, my very favourite tend to be of the savoury variety. And that is why I am so enamored with this recipe for Prosciutto di Parma, Parmesan and Rosemary scones. These are perfectly flaky scones featuring the fantastic flavour combination of delectable Parma Ham, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and fresh rosemary. Soooooo good. I happen to think that Parma Ham has a full-bodied flavour and a silky texture that is the perfect addition to so many recipes: fabulous summer salads, satisfying sandwiches, amazing appetizer plates, and of course, for adding into these delicious ham and cheese scones.

Prosciutto di Parma, Parmesan and Rosemary Scones Recipe Instructions
Preheat the oven to 204C /400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (you may need 2 trays). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the grated butter and combine until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Then add the Parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons of the chopped rosemary. Next, mix in the egg and buttermilk until just combined, being careful not to over mix the dough. Then gently fold in the Parma Ham. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and then pat into a 1-inch thick square. Cut the dough into 8 wedges, then lightly press remaining tablespoon of rosemary on top of wedges. Place scones about 2 inches apart on the already prepared baking sheets, and brush with remaining buttermilk. Place the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the scones to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm.
Parma Ham and Cheese Scones Tips
To ensure your scones rise and get light and airy, make sure to not over-work the dough. No buttermilk on hand? You can make your own buttermilk by combining 1 cup regular milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let stand for 5-10 mins before using. You can reserve a couple of tablespoons of the parmesan to sprinkle on top of the scones before baking. This will give them a delightfully crunchy golden top.

About Parma Ham
The unique flavour of Parma Ham is the result of a production process that allows it to be designated as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product. All Parma hams must be cured for at least a full year, and sometimes up to 3 years and then pass the strict curing regulations receiving the stamp of the Ducal crown. Parma Ham truly is a world-class food. It is completely all natural and contains absolutely no additives. Made of just pork and salt, Parma ham delivers nothing but the finest, most pure prosciutto flavour in every package.
